Bargoed & Gelligaer common

We walk through Bargoed woodland park following the Rhumney river, until we reach the outskirts of Bargoed. We follow a track for a short while and come out in the town centre, skirt the edge of town where there are a few short steep climbs to take us to the edge of the golf course. We go around the edge of the course with lovely views of the hillside to our right. This bring us onto Gelli-gaer common which we follow to the end. (Cows present) We then drop down into Penpedairheol following footpaths through an estate and into the centre where we will have lunch at the church. From there it is mostly country footpaths to Tir-y-berth, we join the Rhumney river once more, then back to the car park.
